Holes in 5gal buckets
I've seen in a couple threads mention to drilling holes in the sides of buckets near the bottom instead of in the bottom. Sounds like to leave a small amount of water in the bucket to be wicked up during the day? Is that the reason?
A couple other questions to those that practice this method. 1) What diameter holes do you drill and how many in a 5gal bucket? 2) How far up from the bucket bottom do you drill? and 3) Do you line the holes with anything (e.g. weed cloth, etc.)? Justin |
